This personal and professional assessment<\/a> is offered by your employer \u2013 but it belongs to you. What you develop here serves your personal clarity. What you choose to share with your employer is entirely up to you.<\/p>\n

Why personal and professional assessment?<\/h2>\n

Strategic career design<\/h3>\n

Many people have a rough idea of what they want \u2013 and still struggle to make clear decisions.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you recognise this: you look at job opportunities \u2013 and after a short while, everything and nothing seems to fit. Or you reflect on your career so far and realise that much of it has evolved by chance rather than by conscious choice.<\/p>\n

You are not alone. Most careers<\/a> are not consciously planned \u2013 they develop along opportunities. Only over time does the desire grow to shape one\u2019s professional development more actively. This is exactly where personal and professional assessment comes in.<\/p>\n

What it is about<\/h3>\n

The goal is clarity: what do you want to do professionally \u2013 and under which conditions do you want to work? We distinguish between two perspectives: the job content \u2013 your preferred activities and positioning \u2013 and the job environment in which you feel comfortable and can fully utilise your strengths. If you do not know what you are looking for, you will not recognise it when you find it.<\/p>\n

Personal and professional assessment and personal branding<\/h3>\n

Good performance alone is not enough \u2013 it needs to be visible. Self-marketing<\/a> is therefore not optional, but essential. The foundation for this is clarity about yourself: who are you? What do you stand for? What sets you apart? You can only make visible what you have understood yourself.<\/p>\n

Personal and professional assessment creates exactly this foundation. It forms the basis for credible and consistent personal branding<\/a>. The focus is not on methods or models, but on you as a person.<\/p>\n

What personal and professional branding achieves<\/h2>\n

A conversation partner on equal footing<\/h3>\n

You gain clarity about what you can do \u2013 and what you want. This changes conversations.<\/p>\n

Personal and professional assessment strengthens your self-confidence<\/a> through clarity about your skills, strengths<\/a> and goals. You present yourself more convincingly \u2013 in discussions with your line manager, in development conversations and in internal changes \u2013 and can assess career opportunities more realistically.<\/p>\n

And not least, you gain in quality of life by actively shaping your professional development instead of leaving it to chance.<\/p>\n

How we work<\/h2>\n

Self-awareness through self-observation<\/h3>\n

In the personal and professional assessment, we systematically explore your interests, inclinations and strengths. The starting point is your past experience as well as your current ideas and aspirations.<\/p>\n

You observe yourself \u2013 in your daily work, in specific situations, and in reflecting on your career so far. From this, we derive your needs, structure and prioritise them. The result is a clear requirement profile for: a role (job content) and a work environment (job environment).<\/p>\n

This work requires your active involvement between sessions. The key insights often emerge precisely there.<\/p>\n

A process that stays with you<\/h3>\n

Personal and professional assessment is not a one-off step, but a process that can accompany you throughout your professional life. The fundamental questions remain the same \u2013 and you can apply the methods you have learned again and again.<\/p>\n

Over time, you develop a finer sense of when it is time to take the next step in your career. Once you have learned to read yourself, you make better decisions \u2013 not just once, but repeatedly.<\/p>\n

You benefit from my more than 25 years of experience in career consulting. In addition, you receive comprehensive materials on all concepts used, as well as practical worksheets for the exercises \u2013 for preparation, for deepening your work between sessions and for later application.<\/p>\n

Confidentiality<\/h3>\n

The content of our conversations is confidential. Feedback to your employer is limited to the process \u2013 not the content. What you take from the assessment and what you choose to communicate is entirely up to you. If desired, a joint review meeting can also be arranged with you, your employer and myself.<\/p>\n
